About

Hi there I’m Freda! I am an African and a firm believer that there are many possibilities in Africa that can still be realised.

I have knowledge skills and experience in strategy, innovation, leadership development and marketing, including matchmaking tech startups to corporate clients. I’d like to help with ideas to grow profit, ways to coordinate operations more efficiently and support developing individual team members and leaders to deliver on their potential.

I have worked in corporates, small business, start-ups and social enterprises. I understand the different environments and can help different parties understand each other’s objectives.

Mentorship motivation

  • I like to learn about industries and new businesses
  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent

Mentoring start-ups combines 3 key aspects for me:
1. Startups grow the economy and have the potential to empower individuals. This is where I focus my energy.
2. I have worked in a number of sectors and industries throughout my career, I would like the platform share my experience, support and grow businesses while continuing to learn.
3. My life purpose is to help people and small businesses see and realise their potential, which is fully aligned to mentorship.
